About: For the past three years, I’ve had the privilege of looking after my Pomeranian baby, and it’s been an incredibly rewarding experience. From the moment I brought him home, I made sure to provide him with a loving, safe, and stimulating environment. I prioritize his health by keeping up with regular vet check-ups, a balanced diet, and plenty of exercise to keep him active and happy. I also pay close attention to his grooming needs—brushing his fluffy coat regularly to prevent matting and keeping his paws clean and trimmed. Every day, we share moments of joy, whether it’s a playful romp in the yard, snuggles on the couch, or teaching him new tricks. Beyond the daily care, it’s the bond we share that truly means the most. I love how his little personality shines through, how he greets me with excitement every time I walk through the door, and how we’ve grown so connected over the years. Hi is not just a pet; he is family, and my heart fills with love every time I look at him. Hi There! I work mostly online at home so I will be happy to look after small ones. I have my own car so I easy can come any time needed! Looking forward hear from you! Caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, safety, trust, and the environment are always my top priorities. Here’s how I ensure that: Safety: I create a pet-proof environment, making sure that all potential hazards—sharp objects, toxic plants, or small items that could be swallowed—are removed. I also ensure that pets are supervised, especially during playtime or outdoor activities. Trust: Building trust with both pets and owners is essential. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and preferences, ensuring they feel comfortable and safe in their surroundings. Regular updates, photos, and videos help owners stay connected and assured that their pet is in good hands. Environment: I provide a calm, loving, and enriching environment. This includes a quiet space for rest, age-appropriate toys for mental stimulation, and a consistent daily schedule for feeding, walks, and bathroom breaks. Ultimately, I aim to give pets the same care and attention as I would my own, making sure they feel loved and cared for in a secure and trusting environment.
About: My love of dogs began in 2022 when I moved into my current house. The family I lodge with own two adorable pugs, they stole my heart and never gave it back. Since then I've loved them as my own, taking them on nice long walks most days, mucking in and cleaning up after them and providing lots of daily snuggles on my bed. My room is their room. Plus I provide full time care when their owners go on holiday. I love all dogs. I bartend part time in a dog friendly pub and shower affection on all our doggy visitors. Every dog from Rotties and Boxers to tiny little Daschund's and Chihuahua's. After a redundancy last year my calling became clear. I've been dog sitting and caring for dogs for nearly 4 years, I want to spend my whole day with dogs (to be honest I prefer dogs to humans) so making a career of it makes sense. As well as providing all the love and care in the world, your dog will be in safe hands, I'm conscientious and diligent in watching over them, keeping them safe from food and weeds, keeping them hydrated, thorough with all the clean up and very communicative, I like taking photos of all our fun so you can always be assured your dog is safe and having a wonderful time. I hope you'll choose me as your next dog-sitter, I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon. I work as a writer so I'm very flexible, with lots of time to devote to your pawsome friends and can often be available at short notice. Their safety is my number one priority. I keep a watchful eye out at all times, keeping food out of reach and doors locked, if they're out in the garden I make sure it's secure. If something breaks or spills I'll secure the dogs first then clean up thoroughly.

About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life, though we currently own cats, my whole extended family have dogs and I have cared for them always. Being in an active family we love long walks - which seem to make more sense with a dog in tow (or leading the way!) I work during the week, but readily available on evenings & weekends. I work term time only so available anytime throughout the week during school holidays. During school holidays I can visit as much as you might like and offer longer walks during holidays and weekends. I will meet your animals’ needs based on their personality & based on the information you provide. Providing as much play or fussing as they might like- but reading what they want as a priority as they get used to me.
About: I’ve always had dogs and other furry friends and now I have my own dog, who I rescued from Romania. My dog will likely join us on walks and he is friendly with other dogs. If this is not suitable for your dog, then he will not come. Happy to continue with your training - practice loose lead walking/recall if required. Otherwise your dog can have lots of fun running, playing ball or sniffing to their hearts content. I am available most evenings and weekends. I’m unavailable on Wednesdays, however I might be able to do other days when I work from home. Whilst your pet is in my care I will tend for them as my own! Happy to meet and greet before booking to introduce ourselves.

About: I’ve spent the last 6+ years helping to care for my dad’s gorgeous cocker spaniel, who I absolutely love taking out for walks and spending time with. Looking after him has given me lots of hands-on experience with daily care, exercise, and making sure dogs feel happy and comfortable! I also regularly take care of my cousin’s cat, which I really enjoy. I’m a huge animal lover and genuinely love spending time with pets, giving them plenty of attention, care, and affection. I am currently job hunting so have plenty of availability and can be very flexible! Happy to do day time, early mornings, late evenings & weekends - anywhere you need the help! I have a fenced garden and plenty of room for your dog, I also live super close to the local park for lots of walks!

About: I have always had a love of dogs, and owned my own as a child. I have two dogs myself now. A cockapoo and a labrador. They love having walks on our local beach which is 2 minutes from my home. I have attended dog training classes for several years, which I helped run and I am an artist of pet portraits, which make treasured presents for people. I treat all dogs as I would my own, and give them my best attention and care. In my area we have lovely sandy beaches and a nearby park. I live in a victorian terrace house, with a secure garden, with my husband and 2 sons in their twenties. One has just finished uni, and my other son works at a school,and plays football in a team. We all love animals.
About: I have worked in rescue/Animal care sector for over 10 years. Recently, I was working with the Scottish SPCA where I would look after and rehome a variety of animals in my care; many of whom I had taken home to rehabilitate. I’m also heavily involved with rescue work in a voluntary setting. I homecheck, Assess, foster and transport animals. This is a big part of my life and I’m very proud of the work everyone does to help provide a safe space for neglected animals. I love working with animals that have behavioural issues (I am not a trainer/behaviourist) so I’m quite happy working with and following care plans for reactive dogs (laid out by you and/or trainer) or plans that suit the owners and their needs. I’m passionate and focused so the welfare of your animal will always come first! Please note, I do work part time so I am unable to house sit. (I do have a FB page called Scoobs Sitter) I do have experience of working and owning animals from Hamsters, Ferrets, Rats to Snakes, Cats and Dogs. I also enjoy taking photos of your animals and sending humourous messages so you know your pet is being well looked after! Please see the above information for further details on how I can help. We can also discuss further in messages and away from the site. Thanks for reading. This is not applicable to me as I am unable to offer house boarding in my own home. I am able to house sit in client homes.
About: I’ve looked after and owned pets all my life -I’ve been surrounded by cats and dogs as I’ve grown up and could not love them more.

Jade is truly exceptional! She has a natural intuition with dogs that immediately put both Trevor and me at ease. From the moment we met, it was clear that she genuinely cares and takes the time to understand each dog’s unique personality and needs. She went above and beyond to create a fun, enriching experience — including a wonderful trip to the beach where Trevor had an absolute blast. The thoughtful updates, photos, and her genuine joy in spending time with him made all the difference.
